Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Remus, Sirius, James, or Severus. Tough world, huh? None of them are mine...except in dreams. : P (peter I can do without...)

Author's note-ONE MORE! Oh, and Mango, you just keep watching. You may find the results at the end of this to be to your liking. However, I will not divulge anything--you may hate me. We'll see, eh? Hope you still like my story even though it's discouraging!

THE FOLLOWING IS REMUS

I was completely at a loss for words. How in the world should I have guessed that Sirius Black like me? My hand wandered slowly to my lips, I could still taste him. I looked down the hallway to the half open portrait and stood, walking to it. I left the way I came and sat outside the common room entrance on the stone staircase. As I sat there I thought of everything that I could do in my situation, now that I was so unsure. As far as I could see, there were 7 options.

1. I could go get my books and wait by the Divination room until class began in an hour.
2. I could go talk to Sirius.
3. I could talk to James.
4. I could go confess to Severus that I think I like him and see how he handles it before making any other bad moves.
5. I could do nothing and keep thinking.
6. I could weigh the affections of Sirius and Severus and decide which one I liked
more, maybe ruining the life of the other and therefore going against my better
judgement
7. I could choose Sirius and just be Severus's friend.

I decided that either my fourth or third option would be the most wise, but before I would do anything, I chose number 3 to be wisest and set on my search for James Potter.

Didn't have to look far. The moment I entered the common room I saw him coming down from the dormitories. He glared at me and I could only guess at who he just talked to.

"James, could we please talk?" I asked, a bit frightened as to what Sirius had told him.

"Yeah, sure..." James muttered. We sat on opposite armchairs and I sighed.

"I'm guessing Sirius already told you--"

"That you broke his heart?"

"N-No, I didn't mean to....James, it went like this. When I found out Severus liked me I sort of thought, you know, maybe I like him too. After getting to know him a little, I figured out that yes--I did like him. A lot. But I wasn't sure if that was me talking or me knowing he likes me talking. So, I thought maybe I could talk to Sirius and try to smooth things over. But when I did, he kissed me...and...yes, it was incredible, but I was certainly not ready for it. I was dumbfounded that he liked me, especially when he looked so down at Severus liking me. So, being the idiot I am, I immediately let slip that I thought I may like Severus. Then he just left. I never meant to make him feel like this, but now I am so conflicted. I may like Sirius too. All I know is that when he kissed me it was perhaps the best feeling I've ever had, better than when I'm around Severus and all I can think about right now is how long I wanted him to do that." I stopped and twiddled my thumbs. " I feel so terrible...like some sort of...slut.''

James stared at me for a while and then sighed.

"Well, if you put it that way, I don't know what to tell you. I think you should fess up to Snape and figure things out with him before jumping to conclusions. I'm not sure if he still likes you, but if he does--you want to be sure about it before you go and break Sirius's heart like that. He's never liked a guy like this before, and I know because he and I went out for a month...Remus, he's dead fond of you. He always was flirting with you, even when he didn't know it. But you know, you have to do what you have to do. I'll support you, I suppose," James murmured.

"Thanks, James." And with that I set off to find Severus Snape.
